The World for People who Think
I live in mid-state Illinois and I think I saw this very one. It was to the east and was visible for about 5-6 seconds for the duration of time that I saw it, and I think I viewed the "tail-ending" of it, so to speak.
It had a orange color that then faded to green, as some of the other reports seem to indicate. I also noticed that the it was "breaking up", with material behind it.
